The Current Paradigm and the Malta Template never disagree on facts but they can disagree on the context into which those facts are placed. The two descriptions above illustrate this very well. The Paradigm view of a galaxy is of a gravitationally bound system of stars and other stuff. It is an understandable view because this is what we see through out telescopes but it is the opposite of the Template view. In the Template, a galaxy is a blackhole first and last. It may well be surrounded by stars and other stuff but it doesn't have to be. A "perfect" galaxy is a "stable" blackhole that has already "eaten" as much of its surrounding "food" as it can and has thrown the rest away across its gravitysheath interface. Whether such a galaxy should actually be called a "galaxy" or a "blackhole" is arguable but not terribly important.  

A cluster of stars without a blackhole as its gravitational locus is just a cluster of stars. 

Galaxies are just another stage on the scale of the increasing mass of blackholes. A galactic blackhole is larger than a photon or a quark and smaller than a blackhole at the heart of a galactic cluster. Unless they are artificially inhibited from doing so (as are photons and quarks), blackholes cannot help but keep growing by feeding on any matter that comes near enough. They don't grow indiscriminately, however, for when they absorb mass and energy in the form of gravitons but they must do so differentially so that any absorbed energy is kept in balance with the mass. All blackholes are dominated by their need to maintain, or return to, stability.
